Explore watercolor painting with New Orleans based artist Diego Larguia.

Inspired by a selection of still lifes from Ogden Museum’s permanent collection, the day will began with a brief discussion of the still life works of art featured in the current exhibition, Knowing Who We Are: A 20th Anniversary Exhibition. Following the discussion, Diego Larguia will then demonstrate drawing and watercolor techniques needed to execute a still life painting. For the remainder of the workshop, participants will produce their own watercolor still life using a piece from the collection as inspiration.

All workshops are conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment. All materials are provided and all levels are welcomed.
